The People Connection
A few weeks ago I shared a story in this little blog about a friend of ours who passed away. I shared about the brightness of her eyes that always sparkled, even in her advanced stages of dementia. I believe her eyes showed the beauty of her soul. Yesterday was Connie’s funeral and it was…

We’re in the rainy season here in SW Florida. What does that mean? Well, it means that right around 3:00 p.m. every day, a thunderstorm will roll in, dump a lot of rain, and then about an hour later, the sun will shine again. You used to be able to set your watch by it.…
